Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! And not just in a 'they're the fundamental building blocks of matter' way, but in a 'they're prone to exaggeration and fabrication' way. You know, like that one atom who swore it saw a proton wearing a tiny sombrero, when clearly it was just a neutron with a particularly festive quantum fluctuation. Honestly, you give them a few electrons and they think they're the center of the universe. It's truly elementary, my dear Watson, how unreliable these subatomic fibbers can be. They're always splitting hairs, or in their case, splitting nuclei. And don't even get me started on their unstable isotopes – always looking for a reaction. It's a wonder anything stays together.
